Sunday morning meditations are reserved for silence. I love the idea of us getting together and being able to just slip into silence together.
And on a Sunday morning I like to get into our teacher of the week’s views on silence, and Oprah doesn’t disappoint:
“Clarity comes from stillness. I promise you’ll feel better just making the commitment.” – Oprah Winfrey
“When you don’t know what to do, do nothing. Get quiet so you can hear the still, small voice of your inner GPS guiding you to true north.” – Oprah Winfrey
“There is no greater source of strength and power for me in my life than going still, being quiet and recognizing what real power is.” – Oprah Winfrey
“If you peel back the layers of your life, the frenzy… that noise-stillness is waiting. That stillness is who you are.” – Oprah Winfrey
“I look for the stillness beneath all the noise of the world, where everything is timeless.” – Oprah Winfrey
“Be quiet. Part of your responsibility is to honour the quiet inside yourself so you can hear the call.” – Oprah Winfrey
“When you don’t know what to do, get still. The answer will come.” – Oprah Winfrey
When we embrace silence, we peel back all of the reactive layers of our lives, revealing the core of our being.
When we get beyond the noise of the world and the noise in our minds, we create space for our inner GPS to guide us. This inner voice of stillness speaks clearly if we will listen.
Make silence a regular practice in your life. It takes time to reap the benefits from this but there’s a deep strength and clarity to you that you’ll only settle into when you become good at slipping into silence amidst all of the noise.
A few questions to help you reflect on the value of silence:
- What does silence mean to me?
- How can I incorporate more silence into my daily life?
- What thoughts and emotions arise when I am quiet?
- What insights or guidance have I received from silence?
- How can I trust the wisdom of my inner compass?
By honoring the quiet within, we can hear the call of our soul and live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
